rusty nail in the stem?
i always top my plants at least once... after that i am All About Bondage. i use a spool of green twist tie to tie tops down and keep the canopy the same height... this often means keeping the top cola trained at a 90 degree angle so the other plants can catch up in height... and the top growth become many new top growths... (do this as needed during veg or flower to keep the canopy the same height).
i've always tried to avoid actually snapping the stem, the plant will snap its own step sometimes when you tie them down... but if you are careful, plants actually seem to ENJOY BONDAGE
i can see the ease factor of simply doing enough damage that the stem will lay at a 90 degree angle and heal that way without having to pull out the twist ties though.

Hell yeah man! As long as you got a card .....lol
Sweet man post it up ...this threads needs some result pics...
Yeah search it for additional info... But i was told that it makes them go into some type of death shock or something and it makes them ooze more before death and to protect itself or somethin... not quite sure.. but its supposed to do somethin....LOL... I guess i should check it out more...
I think the plants react to whatever we do to them... or the environment for that matter... I ended up tying them down after i bent them this time so i wouldnt have to deal with it... I like having tall plants with allot of growth nodes and then bend to wherever i want them... Im lazy so i dont want to be adjusting everytime she grows.i always top my plants at least once... after that i am All About Bondage. i use a spool of green twist tie to tie tops down and keep the canopy the same height... this often means keeping the top cola trained at a 90 degree angle so the other plants can catch up in height... and the top growth become many new top growths...

ok franco:
since the order i uploaded put these pics first in my album i thought i'd drop by and show everyone how my girls are at 3wk, I cropped them on the 1st wk in flower
you gotta look in the center of the pic to see the damaged bend
i meant to fix this in photoshop but it seems i forgot, but you can the bend here
just look at how those lower buds are now tops!!

I was reading a thread earlier about topping your plants once you have 5-6 nodes, right above the second node to acheive 4 main branches. Would it work to top, grow out the branches, bend/supercrop the branches and then grow out the bud sites a week or two before flowering? I'm assuming that could increase bud size even more?

chuck , yes you should defiantly cut that off, your buds look like they could be very nice looking you have a great canopy there I can see a few where the cola is going to be beast, I personally would take any thing lower than the 1st mini bud under your main top bud, keep all the mini buds, sell or whatever with the tops, the mini-mini buds that is the budlets under the 1st mini bud arent worth the trouble, if your going to sog you will find this out sooon enough, lol

thx good luck man.... Doing this procedure for cfls is especially good since the cfls donot have allot of penetrating power.... therefore a more even canopy is best for cfls..... hell its best for most indoor setups because of that very reoson!...LOL

hey man! thanks for the kind words in ny thread...i have a question, its off the supercropping topic....alot of people use airstones in there hempy and hydrow grows...could u put an air stone at the botton of a soil bucket grow? seems tome you could airate the soil and get oxygen to the roots better....maybe its a stupid thought or maybe its already done..just curious

I thought of the same thing man...dont worry... it just makes sense right?.... well there are those outhere that say its BAD. that it will grow some type of shit and that it will dry out your medium too fast... If it dries it thats fine..just water/feed more often...wouldnt that make it more like aeroponics?.... I agree man... I thought the same and all that... but do a search for it.... I think we will never know until we try. ....you gonna be first?...LOLhey man! thanks for the kind words in ny thread...i have a question, its off the supercropping topic....alot of people use airstones in there hempy and hydrow grows...could u put an air stone at the botton of a soil bucket grow? seems tome you could airate the soil and get oxygen to the roots better....maybe its a stupid thought or maybe its already done..just curious
